'✓ )~ MIDDLESEX 411EETL1G. • ester Any, in pursuance of a, letter addressed to Freeholders of Middlesex, to convene a meeting : ° 1- the purpose of counteracting the mischievous teodency of the Resolutions recently passed by the. Persons wly;assembled at Hackney, a considerable .number of Freeholders attended at Freemasons' lla I, Great Queen-street:. Thesame artifice, how was put in practice, by a set of desperate Re rortners, as had beer } carried into effect last week a t the London Tavern, for when the Freeholders %%ho went there, in conformity•th the requisition in the letter; and for the purpose of declaring their dig- - sent from the spurious political doctrines inculcated a t the Hacktrey Meeting, they found the, room 11arly filled by their opponents. Mr. B YNG havin g Peet 'desired to attend, by an anonymous letter, ap teared about one o 'cl o ck, a n d wa s ca ll e d t o th e Ch a i r Y the intruding-party. Many other persons on the ° PPosite .side called upon Mr. MELLISH. The laillOtlr was so great for some time, that nothing. co uld be - distincqy heard. At length, as Mr. IlYtio's party were much. snore turbulent and vi o l e nt b .dlan those o f th e o pp os it e s id e ,M r . B YNG was h ear d. { le properly observed, that as the Meeting was call , ed for a purpose contrary to that which had, as ktobled at Hackney, and as he had approved '.of the doarines, though he disapproved of some parts of the language expressed at the latter place, he did net t hink he had any right to' appear on the present t'etasion, though he clad thought proper to comply It'ith the desire that be should now attend. Mr. Mat.t.tsu then for some time endeavoured to Procure a hearing, but amidst the outrageous cla tbours of the intruders; it was . hardly possible to collect even the substance of what he delivered.— ks far; however, as his meaning could be discovered 1 : 41 t(lst such disgraceful viol enc e, be was understood 1 1 _ say; that lie was surprised to find his colleague i n t he room, as the Meeting-was obviously rep ugnan t t °_ the cause he espoused' and the principles he pro fessed, „ Here. the uproar was so great as to prevent him f rom doing more than reading the letter which he gad received, requiring him to be present on the occasion. . - ''l'hel -- intruders then vehemently called on Mr. teNTLEY to, take the Ch a i r . At t hi s p er i o d t h e rev. Mr. THIRLWALL stood on the table, and pro posed th a t M r . M ELLISH an d hi s f r i en d s s h ou ld re - . r to another room.

At length, how ever, the Chair was taken by Sir WILLIAM G 18,11,01,15, , 11 , 0 1 , 1s, who wag at first proposed to be Chairman on t he occasion, and the Declaration was read to 'the ovtipany. It was temperate and loyal, expressive t i a firm attachment to the British Constittilion, of abhorrence of the dangerous tenets which had r ten inculcated at the Hackney Meeting•---tenets t hat ;tad produced all the mis e ries and h orrors o f e French B e t olution—a n d pl e d g i ng t h e su b scr ib ers i 'Ll °, unite in the most resolute determination to exert Utmost power in .support of that wise system ° Which we were indebted for the security of every totitical, moral, and religious blessing, which h a d so Ong rendered this country the admiration and envy ti all surr , aundtng States. The, declaratirin was ithmediately signed by a con -Biteraiale number ,of loyal characters, and after the tl yeal thanks to the Chairman had oeen passA, the Meeting was dissolved. The intruding fa6tion re -I)!laitted in the other room, and having c_illed Mr. Simi lar'ENTLey to the chair, they passed resolutions to those which they had maintained at. Hackney, C ensuring Mr. MELLISH,' and urging the ustial to- Pies of batons sophistry and violence.

The accounts respeaing the former subject would appear not only interesting in themselves, but particularly applicable to the present subjed. They would tend to dissipate the gloomy view which had beeti entertained by some with re sped to the national finance. Certain he was, that .the more those accounts were examined, the more reason the "House would have to ccLgratulate them selves, and be satisfied with reipe6t to the situation of the country.

It was not right to presume Qn rea,- so much 'On the TAx this year, as there were no arr Ors of an earlier standing thati 1807.

It might• be necessary to state ; the amount of the Gtauts out of -the Property Tux for the :six last six years, viz. :—ln 1801, 4;500,0001.; in 1805, .15,440,0001.; in 1805; 14,506,0001. ; in 1807, 1 . 8;060,0001.; in 1808, 21,00'0,00.01. ; in, i 869, 21,200,0001. ; in 1810, 21,4q,0001. ; making in '.the - whole, 1 t .5,880,0001,; Of !he above there had been received in 1804, 3,741,3 t 01. ; to 1805, 11,787,1861. - ; in 1806; 1/ - ,98,1051.; in 1807, 16,305,8811.; in 1.808; , 19,835,8201.; in 18091.; 22;086,2221.; in I'Blo, 22,707,4421•; make in the whole 107,441,9781.

From this sum if the 8,437,5221.. of Grants remain ing unsatisfied 'on the - sth April;, 16.10, were de ducted, it would appear that there Was - a balance of assessments due to the Public a: 'that 'period of 889,4781." not actually granted. - There Was also 400,0001. of War taxes to be received froln the - East India Company, being the tea-duty due and post- poned at the sth. April, which added to the last would make 1,289,4781. to be collected front the annual Rroduce of the property tax. 'Having made , these statements, he ,would proceed to direa the attention of the Committee to the CuStoms and Ex cise. The produce of the Customs and Excise for the lad three years wap as follows , :---In 1$08; did , Customs' 2,626,151. ; • the Excise 6,392,0661.; making together 9,918,220.-1 n 1809, the Cus toms 2,354,9991. ; the Excise . 63451,8961. ; mak- , ing together,B;Bo6,B9sl.—ln 1810, the Customs 3,290,4411.; the' Excise 5,655,7681.; making to gethef'B,3s6,3o9l.—The product; of both for the , threo years was therefOre 27,t 81,4051.; the average of each' year being g,060,0001, ; which might fairly be calculated upon as the receipt of the current year ; and which, added to the assessment of the Property Tax according to the returns from the i , Tax-offiCe; ViZ. - 11,40'0,0001. would make the re- suit 20,460,0001. There remained due, however, on the.sth 'of April of war taxes unappropriated 1,293;0001. which added to' the former sum would make the• reasonably' to 'be estimated. produce of the war taxes for the curretit yl'ar 21,753,0001. From. this SUM must be, deducted the amount pledged for the interest of the loans of 1807 and" §OB, viz . ... 2,240,0001. leaving a clear balance at the dispoSal of - Parliament for 18 1 o of 19 t 3,0001. — The course 'whiCh he had propOsed 'to Parliament; and which had been adopted 14 the House with respe6t to.the mode . of .drawing the' Lotteries had remedied one class of evils formerly complained of.• He believed thefe existed no doubt that if the ar rangement he alluded to, that of drawing the Lot tery in one day,' had not wholly put a stop to in surances, it had prevented entirely that most mis s chievous insurance 'which formerly did so much injury to , the lower Orderi of society, from their ' Continuing to insure day after'day; in the vain hope of retrieving their first losses. He therefore thought There' could be no objection to raising the . sum of 30,0001. by lotteries, Seeing the evils which . had been so much lamented did not arise from the 'Lotteries' themselveS,.but from the practice, of in suring and from private lotteries—" little goes,',' as they were called.' Fie would now state the ternis on which he .had , negociated the Loan, and he had the SatiSfaclion to inforin the Committee that those .termS were infinitely more favourable than had ever been before'obtained. The loan was fur 12,000,'0001. viz. 8,000,0061. for England and 4,000,000. for Ireland. .TheSnbscribeth were to have 'l3Ol. in the reduced 3 per cents. and 101. 73. 64. in the 3 per cent. Consols, making in the tkhole 1401. 7s. 6d. for every tool. subscribed. The amount of the interest therefore, would be no more than 41. 4s. 24d. per cent. being 15s. 91d. below the rate of legal interest. The iutgrest on the loan last year was 41.125; iod. per cent.. Whether the situation ,pf the country was better or worse than at that perifrd he would'not pre tend to say, but certain it was that between the interest of the two loans, there was a ditieience favourable to that just created of 83. - 7 . 0. per cart. The Exche quer Bills to'he funded would amount to 8,311,6001. Thus it would appiar that the stock created on ac- count of the inanof 8,000,0001:would be 10,400,0001. in the 3 per cents. reduced ; and 830,0601. in the 3 per cent. consols ; rtialsinf the total of the capital created on the loan for Great Britain 11,230,0001, The - capital created 'on- account of the Exchequer Bills - funded would be, 8,58 1,7271. in the five per cents. The total of the capital created tor loan and Exchequer Bills amounted therefore to 19,811,7271. The interest on the debt created in the 3 percents. reduced would be 312,0001.1 that on the 'debt created in the 3 per cent. cons. would be 24,9001. making together the interest on thedebt created for the loan 336,9001. Themterest on the debt created for-the Exchequer Bills in the 5 per cents, would be 429,0861. 7s. ii .1 ing the total interest on 'the whole debt created 765,9861. 7s. The 1 per cent. would amount to 198, t t 71... 5.. 4.41. and the ma nagement to 6,7351: 19$, sitl: making the grand total charge 970,8391. 12s. ltd. The race . per Cent. paid by the'Public on the total debt %% as, on the Exchequer Bills funded 61. ,4s. 7id.'; on the loan 51. 13s. ; the rate of interest tp the sub scribers was, on the Exchequer Bills 51.35. 3d. ; on the loan 41. 4s. 2id. The result was, that the rate per cent. paid by the Public on Funding Exchequer Bills and loan was 51. 199, old. ; including the expences of management. It was in vain for him to pretend to bring under the view of the Commit tee the satisfattory teflectiensnaturally atising frOm the circumstance of the country being able to pro cure, ;o large a loan at' that rate 'of interest. He should next shew the progress of the' Consolidated Fund, and shew why he took no more of the sur plus than. 4,400,0001. Tne income and, charge of the Consolidated Fund for the year 18'10 stood as follows : the charge Was 34,421,996 h gs. • I tic!: ; the income 44,441,7711. 4s. Old. ; so that the pro duce exceeded the charge by 7,019,7741. 14s. OW. The application Of-this - tirElus produe would be 'as ►.( ?!;i P,ll i fOIIOWS 7 to COtTiWt•, 010 gra;:t for 1803, 3550,1g1;4 'the grant .for ; 8(19,. 4 ;0,09,0001. ;. and towards.-the "' Ttitip4r, 18i 6, 2,66 i ,602 I. ; being: the sum already voted for the service of the current yedr. The uro-, duce ot the Customs appropriated to, the Consoli dated Fund of the year, ending April 5, 1810, con siderably exceeded these:of the preceding pear ; the former amounting to 5,251,4491. while the latter had only been 3,719,21 . 81. He would nothowever estimate that of the current year at the same rate as the last, as the excess of • the last year might in a - great degree arise from the smallness of the im- - ports of the preceding year. He 'should therefore' take the Average of the two last years. , Nheir joint produce was 8,970,6671. so that the averege would be 45,3331. which was the sum that he Would •take for the Consolidated - Customs for the present year. In taking the average of the two last years in erefer ence to the three last, he by no means favoured his calculation, which would have been higher had the yearendieg the sth April,lBoB, been ii chided. With respect to, the Excise, •the produce last year was 16,880 . ,6251. He bed no reason to think that the pro- • duce of the present year old be less, and 'he should ' therefore. estimate it at the same; for though the accounts might not at present seem to Present so fair a prospect, he had tic) doubf, from a t iew of all the circumstances„ that this estimate would be jos , tied by the event,.. The total amount. of the pro duce of. theCensolidated Customs and Excise, of the last- year, was . ..upwards. of 22 millions. He' had Much satisfaEtion in stating, that the produce. of the quarter ending sth April, 181'0, watt ‘'i64,7001. greater than that of the corresponding qoerter of , preceding year. Thus there was reason to exe, ;I. it .it went prm aseit had begun that the produce would exceed rather.than fall shot of that of last yen-, 'the malt duties having recovered themselves very much ; and having increased tretween 4Q and 50,0001. to the: last 'quarter. He repeated, therefore, that. he would estimate the Ekcise at the same sum as that which it had produced last year. The : assessed taxes produced in the last year 6;459,5371. from which trust be de ducted the receipt beyond the asst.ssthent, being -ar-T rears, and which was-no less a sum than 600,001. And here he would obserte, that the arrears outstanding dismounted poly to 300,0001. so that whatever might be said of the mode in. which the taxes were colleCled, at least negligence could, not be imputed to the colleEtors of that part of the reve- . nue. It should be'remembered, that it, was the duty of the officer; as it was for the gadd of the Pul - )lie, that those arrears should be kept as low as possible. It was unjust to_those who did pay to permit th ese arrears to accumulate, as their peculiar bisrthens must in consequence increase; nor was it kind et en to those whe did not pay to allow their arrears to amount to a; sum, the dscharge of which, whee they were called upon to discharge it, must - necessarily occasion .considerable inconvenience and distress, which a just enforcement of. the law would pre clude: He would only take Credit, therefore; for 5,860;0001. for the assessed taxes of the current year. The S:amps. in .the . l<st year produced 5,1.93,0001 . . • he would take the m at t h e sam e sum. The Post-Office, which had been-agrowing.reve sue -for the last three years; had last year produced i 1,194,0001. ; he would, however, take it at. the same suiri. The Hawkers and Pedlars, and sundry small branches of revenue, he would 'estimate .at 84,0001..4 personal estates and pensions at 164,0001.; laud-tax at 1, i 70,0 - 001. ; surplus of Exchequer fees at 53,0001. ; Tontine at 24,00.01. ; Crown Lands at 50,0001.; Ituprest, Monies at 200,0001.-; making' a total of .35,357,0001.--- , To this must be added the War Taxes of 2,240,0001. mak ing, a grand total of produce of the Consoli dated Fund of 37,597,0001. . The charge (in. eluding . 100,0001. for any occasional expence) was a 1,960,0001, ; there was therefore a surplus of 5,637.,0001.—1t might naturally be asked why then he took. of sum only 4;400,0001. for:the ser vices of the current year? This he would now un dertake to explain to_the Committee. The produce, of the Stamp Duties for the year ending the sth of April, 1810, was,. 5,193,6971. Of this sum 1,236,9071. (a surplus applicable to meet the charge of 18081, had, in a great degree, arisen out of the regulation proposed by himself in 1808, and adopted by the House for the consolidation of the Stamp Due ties. -'The chatge on these duties for 1808 was 729,4411. This charge was to be 'partially met by short annuities, falling in to the amount of 375,0001. 65,0001. and 182,6631. making altogether 622,6631. —The difference between this sum and the charge (729,4411.) namely, 106,7781. was to be provided for by the produce of the consolidation of the Stamp Duties. Instead of producing 106,0001. the conso lidation had produced 1;236,9071. leaving a balance of above 1,130.0001. arising out of the_ consolidation of the Stamp Duties in 1808. He was aware that in making this sratement, he subjected himself to the severe animadversion of the House for his mis calculation, which he attributed to causes of which he was nor at that time aware. He had now a pro position to make, whiCh he wished might be seri ously considered; .well weighed, and severe:y criti cised. 'it was that,the smut of 970,8391. 12s. ihi. - required to meet the charges for the loan of the cur rent year, should be taken out of ibis excess of the The Committee wou l he was uu,aspeartSieu.s t r -1 add, I) B a o v B e . entertained no objedion to such an approeriation in 1808, had it been re euired. Had they foreseen, the amount, they would unqaestionatily have devoted the whole to the,wants of the year.
